A "Gem of an Article" for Those Who Want to Make Their Dreams Come True
I recently read a wonderful article.
Motoshi Kohara's
The dream I want to achieve
in my lifetime!
is this.
Kohara-san is a wonderful creator who produces
loose, cute, and pop
characters.

・Otsukare-chan
・Aniwaru
・Chiisame
When you want to chuckle,
get the courage to push forward,
or seek refreshing healing.
Kohara-san's characters
give us the vitality to live in the present.
And so... Kohara-san's dream is
to create a
"national character."
The article mentioned above
is one where Kohara-san publicly renews his determination
to realize his dream.
And for those who want to make their dreams come true,
it is truly "not someone else's problem!"
It is a gem of an article that speaks to
the essence of making dreams come true.
"I have a big dream I want to achieve!"
"I'm tired halfway through my dream..."
"How can I make my dream come true?"
For those people,
this is content I definitely want you to read.
From this point on, I will
share my personal thoughts
after reading Kohara-san's article.

✔ What it means to "make a dream come true"

Kohara-san
"a dream you want to achieve in your lifetime"
declares it as.
I was
very moved by the words above.
I will say it again.
It is a "dream you want to accomplish"
with your whole life.
And, continuing on,
to make that dream come true,
Kohara-san expresses his determination
with strong passion.
Precisely because it is not something anyone can do,
I want to accomplish it!
Once you know the words above,
the weight of the phrase "a dream you want to accomplish with your whole life"
is surely
immeasurable.
It is not for anyone else.
Fulfilling a dream that is yours alone.
That is precisely
the very reason to take on the challenge,
even if it means spending a finite life,
and it is a goal without regrets.
There is no motivation
more heart-stirring than this.
Because, no one can get in your way.
It is truly
a dream that only you
can pursue.
A "dream you want to accomplish with your whole life"
can be called a "realization"
that is just that valuable and wonderful.
✔ To live
a fruitful life...

Chasing dreams and goals can be hard and painful!
Sometimes you fail, or they don't come true!
But...!
There are experiences and lessons gained
by aiming for them...
and the time spent working toward them
is often the most fulfilling and enjoyable!
That is exactly why...
having something you can be passionate about enriches your life!
The beauty of having dreams and goals is that
there is "happiness"
in the process of making them come true!
Even before making your dreams come true,
Kohara-san teaches us
the wonder of "having a dream."
Truly...
"Having a dream"means
establishing "your identity."
[Identity]
The state of being yourself.
The state of recognizing that such a self
is an existence acknowledged by society.
If you have a dream, you will have the mindset
to take action to make that dream come true.
People seek reasons for their actions.
If no reason comes to mind,
you won't even think about
taking "that action" in the first place.
And the experience gained by
engaging in "that action"
will enrich your life.
Sometimes you may fail, or experience
setbacks and painful situations.
Even so, it will transform into time
far more meaningful than walking a flat path.

No one can imitate it.
The process of working toward a dream
that only you can fulfill
is an irreplaceable
"shining treasure."
Will you let go of the treasure
that only you can obtain...
Or will you spare no effort
to win that treasure?
Depending on your choice, the value of your life
will change significantly.

✔ Chasing your "dreams"
is perfectly fine

As I grew up,
I
gave up on my dreams.
I became more obsessed with the "visible world"
than the "invisible world."
Dreams eventually became an illusion of escapism.
They are dreams because they don't come true.
Yes, I suppose I have been
casting that suggestion upon myself.
But after encountering Kohara-san's article,
I realized that I had been suggesting that to myself.
Dreams exist to be fulfilled.
Yes... I felt as if
Kohara-san was pushing me forward.
The fear of having a dream was
wiped away.
Incorrect: Dreams are dreams because they don't come true
Correct: Dreams exist to be fulfilled
I felt that I wanted to
face my own "dream I want to fulfill"
head-on once again.
In Kohara-san's article,
they offer important words
along with illustrations
as encouragement to those who want to make their dreams come true.
・Encouragement for those taking on new challenges
・Encouragement for those whose dreams didn't come true
・Encouragement for those who can't take the first step
・Encouragement for those facing opposition from others
・Encouragement for those who are afraid of failure
・Encouragement for those challenging themselves to a contest
・Encouragement for those struggling with a choice
For anyone who wants to make their dreams come true,
these are all wonderful words of encouragement that are a must-see.
(My personal recommendation is
the encouragement for those challenging themselves to a contest😊)

let me close with
